Daily Drive By Update

09.14.2013 Daily Drive By's In Progress

At the suggestion of our attorney, we are keeping a close eye on our foreclosure. Today's drive by at 2:45 pm revealed more items in the front yard and the abandoned vehicle with the hood up and filled with belongings of some sort. In the drive-way was the previous owners Red Chevy Astro Van, with her son's Oldsmobile absent. We noticed the house for sale next door has an open house tomorrow. Am thinking about visiting, perhaps getting a look in the backyard from the neighbors.

After arriving home, I researched South Dakota Law regarding abandoned vehicle(s). To my surprise, there is an easy method to dispose of an abandoned vehicle, and at no expense to me. We must contact a Removal Agency (towing company), give written permission as the landowner or tenant stating the vehicle is abandoned. They come get it - can get owner info from the DMV - and send a notice to the owner. In South Dakota, the vehicle owner has 30 days in which to claim and pay for the towing and storage. Sounds like a plan to me!

We now have the debris covered, abandoned vehicle covered and should we need carpet removed, the debris removal company will take care of that.

So now we wait...
